You’re provided with a house suitable for your family size. A job that will ensure you can afford all the bills and a car if needed. You’re also provided with full medical insurance in needed too.

Where are you going to live and why?

Japan because it's so interesting and beautiful and there's so much to see that I could be fascinated by it for a long time before I started to yearn for anywhere else. It's also very clean and very safe (not absolutes of course but in my experience compared to many other places).

Interesting!

New Zealand, North Island.

Lubeyboobyalt · 15/02/2022 14:04

Iceland

Portugal. I love it, it's my happy place. Less crowded than the UK, beautiful beaches and so little rain!

PAFMO · 15/02/2022 14:12

Denmark.
Or Norway.
Or Finland.

Mightywease · 15/02/2022 14:14

Amsterdam, overlooking a canal if possible

SNUG2022 · 15/02/2022 14:15

Sydney. Great lifestyle.

Deadringer · 15/02/2022 14:17

I would stay where i am, Dublin Ireland. We are near the city, near the sea and most of all near our huge families. I would travel all over the world for holidays though.

FindingMeno · 15/02/2022 14:24

Norway, Finland, or, actually any of Scandinavia, because they're grown up societies.

dementedma · 15/02/2022 14:27

Hard to say because so many places I havent been.Love France though. And in the UK, Orkney

miltonj · 15/02/2022 14:27

Anywhere where there is crumpets. But I love abroad and I'm missing home.

LaBellina · 15/02/2022 14:29

Greece. Or Italy.
I absolutely love Mediterranean countries and it’s my dream to retire in Greece.

I have never been to Sweden but from what I’ve seen in photos and read about the country it seems like a really good place to live as well.

South Africa is also very beautiful and I loved every minute of my holidays there but as much as I would enjoy the landscape, the friendly people and the food, I would always be on my guard due to the lack of safety there and feel a bit like living in a gilded cage I guess.

Live

You'd be happy camped outside a Greggs then? Grin

Not knocking crumpets BTW!

miltonj · 15/02/2022 14:34

@heldinadream since when do Greggs do crumpets??!

Maybe not camped outside, but it would be dangerous for me to live down the same street as a Greggs!

I’ve always wanted to visit Japan so that would probably be on my list of places to live Grin

A private island just for my family and my tribe of dogs ..

Somewhere hot and sunny ...

Suzi7979 · 15/02/2022 14:37

Portugal

DepthOfTheAbyss · 15/02/2022 14:43

California. It’s so scenic, weather is great and wouldn’t be a huge adjustment.

heldinadream · 15/02/2022 15:13

@miltonj you telling me Greggs don't do crumpets?
I did not know that. TBF I eat gluten-free so I'm not really familiar with anything Greggs, so I was obvs talking nonsense. Grin

iklboo · 15/02/2022 15:13

Norway. Been a few times on holiday and I love it there.

MrsTerryPratchett · 15/02/2022 15:16

Do we get a private jet? Because I'd love to live on some gorgeous island but be able to go to London if I wanted. It's 24 hours on 5 planes to be where I want to be.

Kittykatmacbill · 15/02/2022 15:16

Zurich, don’t want car a Swiss public transport pass would do me fine. Beautiful city.
